The Hills star announces surprise arrival of third baby: ‘Our family is complete’

The Hills star and Lauren Conrad’s ex Jason Wahler has announced the arrival of his third child.

Wahler, 37, who was involved in a famously rocky romance with Conrad, 39, on the MTV reality shows The Hills and Laguna Beach, welcomed a baby boy with wife Ashley Wagler, 35, on May 8 per People.

Their son is named August Robert Wahler and he weighed 8lbs 14oz.

The couple – who wed in 2013, are already parents to son Wyatt Ragle, 3, and daughter Delilah Ray, 7. 

Ashley said: ‘Jason, the kids and I are doing great and so excited that our family finally feels complete. The kids are literally obsessed with their new little brother. Delilah thinks it’s actually her own baby.

‘They have truly been the best little helpers. I’m so grateful for the incredible care at Williamson Health and my doctor, Heather Rupe, for providing the best experience for delivery.’

Wahler was the bad boy of Laguna Beach, and then The Hills, famously dating Conrad on The Hills, and Alex Murrel on Laguna Beach.

Fans on The Hills watched LC cry over Jason on many an occasion amid their tumultuous romance from 2005-2006.

‘I don’t really talk to Lauren at all anymore, the last time we talked was probably six months ago or something,’ he told Us Weekly in 2014. ‘She’s a sweet girl, and we are just totally different personalities and she is super, super sweet.

‘She’s very kind and good at what she does. We’re just two completely different personalities – [and] me being full-fledged in my addiction during that time, that did not help.’

Lauren married Something Corporate rocker turned lawyer William Tell in 2014 at a boutique winery in Santa Ynez, California and the pair share two sons. 

Jason has been candid about his alcohol addiction, and in 2010 appeared on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.

And while he believed he partied more due to being in the spotlight at a young age, the reality star doesn’t blame the shows for contributing to his drinking problems.

‘The first thing [people] ask me is “Do you blame those shows?” No. Not at all,’ Jason explained. ‘If anything, I’m grateful because it ignited the addiction faster, and I’m not 40 years old with a family suffering through it. It hit hard, and I was able to see it sooner than later.’

When Us Weekly asked the star what advice he would give his younger self, Jason initially quipped: ‘Don’t drink.’ 

‘But he then added to the website: ‘I was so caught up with stuff on the outside — what society depicts is awesome whether it’s fame, money, cars — it’s important to embrace in everything and spend more time with family and friends and things that I cherish so much now.’

Wahler later joined The Hills reboot New Beginnings – but the show was cancelled after two seasons in 2022.
